IF YOU GO

Forget the sliced bread. When it comes to lunch at Camille’s Sidewalk Café, it’s a wrap — a wrap sandwich, that is.

A soft flatbread rolled around a variety of fillings, wraps are portable, easy to eat and serve as a great container for all sorts of flavors, says Jill Shepherd, manager of Camille’s.

Variety is what makes wraps so popular, Shepherd says. In fact, 50 percent of the restaurant’s menu items are wraps.

Camille’s offers three types of wraps with tons of combinations. There are six choices of the regular meat and cheese wraps, the Natu wrap (a steamed tortilla stuffed with jasmine rice) and five choices of grilled hot-wraps (which are served with a salad), plus breakfast wraps, Shepherd says.

The top seller is the chicken Caesar wrap ($6.25), which also includes tri-colored chips and fresh salsa. Another favorite is the grilled hot wrap.

Customers can choose from five flavored tortillas. Gluten-free and low-carb options are also available. Stuff your wrap with a variety of ingredients, including carrots, red peppers, cheeses and romaine lettuce.

“When it’s finally prepared, the wrap not only looks good, it takes two hands to eat it,” Shepherd says.

Wraps can be a good choice for the calorie conscious, but be aware of what you order. With at least four ingredients loaded onto a flatbread tortilla, the calorie count runs from 500 to 800, Shepherd says. Still, every wrap can be completely customized.

“It’s the dressing and cheese that add calories,” Shepherd says. “Every sandwich can have lower calorie counts if customers choose to make them that way.”

But it’s not necessarily about the calories anyway. It’s about the taste. “Wraps are way better than the average sandwich,” Shepherd says. “In fact, on busy days, we make over 100.”

Besides the specialty wraps, Camille’s also offers paninis ($6.95), sandwiches ($5.95) and flatbread pizzas ($6.95) along with salads ($4.50-$6.25) and a soup of the day ($2.75). The signature creamy Tuscan Tomato is served daily.

Lunch is Camille’s busiest time, but dinner brings in its own type of crowd.

“People seem less rushed at dinner time,” Shepherd says. “They take their time, relax and enjoy their meal and their company.”
